LOL! That's a good one David - thanks!

We lived in Nashville in 1989. The next door neighbor had a wonderfully friendly cat. She used to visit and Shirl took a liking to her. She had kittens. Shirl decided she wanted one male and one female.

We named them Tiger and Sabby. She insisted that they have their claws removed as they were to be inside cats only. She also insisted that they be bathed once per week and she agreed that she'd be the one to do it. OMG! It sounded like a cowboy & Indian massacre on a weekly basis!!

Love it David. We have a black/white cat named Domino who was a feral around the neighborhood for many years. He wouldn't let anyone within 20 feet of him until  one day came up to me and decided he would own me. We took him inside about a year ago with some misgivings because he had his nails and concern that he had never used a litter box. He wasn't in the house twenty minutes when he jumped into the litter box and did his business and has never had an accident. We take him to the vet about every other month to have his nails trimmed and he has never destroyed a thing in the house. Talk about a great transformation. Domino is the most loving well behaved cat we have ever owned and he and Barkley our yellow lab/golden retriever mix have now become the best buddies. We keep treats for Barkley in the kitchen pantry and when Domino saw that he wanted treats as well so now we have to give him his treats every time we go to the pantry. Love those critters.

Bob; I think Domino realizes he has hit the Jackmanpot with his adoption.  Heartwarming to read.

Domino is a good judge of character.
